If you haven’t already started thinking about the possible challenges and opportunities, you don’t have a moment to lose.

Be safe and secure

The end of support for Windows XP means no new security updates, security hotfixes, assisted support options or online technical content updates.

This exposes you to potential risks, such as security threats, compliance liabilities and even downtime for your business.

Take cost into account

IDC research* shows that older technology, such as Windows XP, is far more expensive to maintain than newer solutions such as Windows 8 – offering benefits well beyond keeping you supported.

With the recent release of Windows 8.1 Pro, your organisation can benefit from even more new features, ideal for business users, making it the fastest, most secure and easiest-to-manage Microsoft operating system for laptops or tablets.

It offers more flexibility allowing your employees to be more productive, while increasing operational efficiency through improved PC security and management. It also enables your organisation to take advantage of latest technology trends, such as virtualization and the cloud.

Keep up with change

Many software and hardware vendors will no longer support their products that run on Windows XP.

Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or Windows 8.1 Pro if your device meets the necessary system requirements.

Purchase new business laptops or tablets – check out Panasonic’s latest Toughbook and Toughpad range.

Retire the expired devices – but will this have an impact on your business?

Do nothing – but this carries a huge risk and potential threat and cost to your business! Why not speak to your Panasonic Account Manager or Panasonic Channel Partner about the options available before it’s too late?
